MUMIA - Multilingual and multifaceted interactive information access

This COST Action explores innovative frameworks to empower the synergies from the disparate research fields of Machine Translation, Information Retrieval and Multifaceted Interactive Information Access within the specific context of patent search and other next generation Web applications. This Action will coordinate the collaboration between these disciplines, fostering research and technology transfer in these areas and play an important role in the definition of the future of search. To form a common basis for collaboration the domain of patent retrieval has been selected as a use case, as it provides highly sophisticated and information intensive search tasks that have significant economic ramifications.
